Lawmakers under Trump want people to be able to check disabled people’s social media to see if they’re really disabled. I’m not sure if it passed yet or not. I’m nervous they’re reading all my posts

I don’t think so, how do they know if we really have schizophrenia without physically seeing us? You can’t really diagnoses someone by reading their posts. Also how can they know who you are?

I think they’re looking for people who have, say, a back problem and are out putting on a new roof.

They can find these things out. If they can find out your Facebook and Twitter etc, they can find you on this site too
This is possible, my father got caught helping me installing a snow shelter. They got a picture and he stopped being considered physically disabled. I don’t think this can happen on this forum.

Wow. That’s crazy. See, they do figure it all out. They follow us around and record us. I just want my privacy
What state are you in @Aziz?
Its much more complicated, costly and sometimes impossible online. If you’re worried you can hide your IP address with a VPN.

Ok. So not the states. That’s still scary
Opera browser has a free integrated VPN. I use it to access region restricted websites like Hulu or european websites.

I really don’t care. I got a 3 year review. They know I’m sick. I think it’s more political in my case and my conservative politics.
I am sick. Anyone worth their salt knows schizophrenics talk but never do anything. My therapist told and taught me that.
Hopefully, I’ll stay on. I don’t know how much longer social security will be around. Trump wants to cut payroll taxes. He promised to protect the weak and elderly, but things and time change.

I think some of us are definitely being watched. I say the stupidest ■■■■, but it’s part of my healing process. I have faith in a higher power if something happened to me. I know I’ll go to heaven. I get paranoid a lot.
I see my strange IP addresses and different locations. Maybe a mod can explain how it says I’m from a city 30+ miles away from where I’m typing. It changes constantly.
Happens on my cell phone too and the advertisements I see.
I see more than the normal amount of helicopters in my area. I’ve seen weird wifi names on my wifi and crap.
I’m actually surprised what people say on these forums. I’m assume they’re either floridly psychotic or just have no common sense at all. Not to be mean. I try to think before I type.
I actually believe most of what I write. People say my reality isn’t based in reality at all. It’s shocking to me.
Regarding college, I saw some UFOs in 2016, and they said something about something happening to me in college. I’ll stop there. I just cannot figure it out. Maybe I got abducted. It’s a common story. You hear about it all the time. Mine is just really wacky and extremely absurd. I sort of went insane but I’m recovering. I’m going back to my normal dose.
I’m constantly getting worse and better sometimes during my sleep. I have autism too and someone recently posted we take our thoughts too literally. I feel that 100%. Every thought I usually believe sometimes.
I’m trying to get help sometimes too. Nobody listens.

I really hope Trump doesn’t cut social security. I need that.

You can’t really photograph mental illness. I wouldn’t worry about it. I think that’s more physical disabilities they are looking for.
If you say your wheel chair bound and you post pictures of yourself running a marathon you deserve what you get.

Like I’ve been talking about and thinking about going to school and working but it will never happen. It sucks. I don’t want to give up hope, but early on I was told I had paranoid schizophrenia and treatment resistant undifferentiated schizophrenia. Not everyone agrees. Plus, I got Aspergers, although a mild form.
I had DP/DR a severe case. I had symptoms of depression, OCD, and anxiety. Pretty much the stuff that goes with schizophrenia.
I tried going back to school but always fail. I have cognitive deficits and no motivation. My hygiene is really bad. I tried volunteering but got super paranoid.
I sort of wish life was easier and I had more money, but my family MIGHT leave me a tiny amount of money. It’s supposed to supplement social security after they die, but you never know. It could be nothing or much less than I expect. My brother and sister might have to step in 5-10 years from now. I don’t know.
My former psychologist said his uncle was schizophrenic and he just talked and talked about getting better but it never happened. He’s seen it a lot and said I was very similar.
I don’t understand how I can get a 3 year review if I’m considered 100% permanently disabled. I did improve 10-fold but I’m still sick and have executive functioning difficulties and slight disorganization.
Before, I was like a vegetable or incapacitated lol.

Yes, we tend to be a lot of words and not a lot of action.
